About The Capricorn Star Sign
Capricorn is the tenth sign of the zodiac. At this stage of our journey, we have become aware of our responsibilities and seek to perfect and maintain a framework for society. Therefore those born under this sign have a dependable, dutiful and disciplined nature. This is the sign of the Mountain Goat and its symbol suggests the curled horn of a goat. This reflects the way you find security in high places and your ambition which drives you to climb steadily to the heights, step by step. Your ruling planet is Saturn, which denotes your power of self-control and aspiration. In mythology Saturn was the god of social order, of the seasons and agriculture and is often represented as old Father Time or the reaper, carrying a sickle. This reflects your desire for order, form and security and also accounts for the paternalistic side to your personality. It also denotes your belief that ‘as a man sows, so shall he reap’, which motivates you to organise the affairs of the material world, but with a temperate and cautious approach. It your element is Earth, which gives you a practical, constructive, reliable character. Capricorn is a Cardinal sign and this makes you able to initiate and get things done. You can sometimes be a little cold, calculating and serious. But you approach life in a careful, conscientious, responsible way. You may be slow to develop, but can apply yourself, plan ahead and can be painstaking in your efforts.
